Gallery 676: Blackpool Tramway - Spring Bank Holiday 2017

The recent Spring Bank Holiday weekend once again saw an enhanced Gold timetbale of heritage tram operation in Blackpool. As with the preceeding May Bank Holiday weekend seven trams were in service on each day including a bonus Illuminated tram - the Frigate on the Saturday and Monday and the Western Train on the Sunday. In total 12 different trams ran on the heritage service over the weekend including Modified Balloon 718 which has recently been repainted in a Green and Cream livery having spent the end of 2016 and start of 2017 in plain white. All of the heritage trams feature in this collection along with some of the Flexity2 trams which operated the core Starr Gate to Fleetwood service. Photographer: Gareth Prior
